Mr Scaddan added: 'We were told by the emergency services that if we didn't have the vehicle that we had at the time, I wouldn't have had my family.'

Officers at the scene said it was 'miraculous' Mrs Scaddan and her daughter were not seriously injured following the smash.

Describing the incident, Kirklees District Police Officer Gavin Smith said: 'This was a terrifying incident for the victim and her young daughter, one which has left the young girl terrified of getting into a car.

'Not only has offending car been stolen, but it has been driven with such recklessness and speed it is miraculous that no one was more seriously injured.

'On colliding with the car, the suspects also left the scene with no regard for the occupants of the car they collided with.'

He added: 'We are releasing these images today in the hope that members of the public will recognise the two men and will come forward to the police to help with our enquiries.'

Anyone with information should call West Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
